Background

edit

In January 2012, Birdman confirmed that the production is underway for the sequel to Lil Wayne's eighth album, I Am Not a Human Being (2010), titled I Am Not a Human Being II. Wayne later announced to MTV that he completed the album, while putting even greater attention to the quality control than its predecessor, and he said that he had to "rush" it to the finish from the original project before serving his time in jail after his sentence for the illegal possession of a weapon.[4] I Am Not a Human Being II contains some of the unused materials from the earlier recording sessions that took place for Tha Carter III and IV.[5][6] It was first originally planned for the fall 2012 release, but it was delayed until stating the release for February 19, 2013, I Am Not a Human Being II was eventually announced to be released on March 26.[7] In January 2013, the album was included as one of the multiples on "Most Anticipated Albums of 2013" lists, such as the one by MTV and was on the twelfth place on the XXL's list.[8]

Music and lyrics

edit

Much in the vein of Lil Wayne's earlier works, I Am Not a Human Being II addresses themes of drugs and sex. The album incorporates much of his traditional hip hop styles, also experiments with rock-influenced elements.[9][10] Described as extremely vulgar by Complex,[11] the album contains 182 uses of the word "nigga", 102 uses of "bitch", 63 references to having sex, 39 mentions of marijuana and 38 references to shooting people among other numerous references to pills, codeine, getting fellatio, giving cunnilingus, and skateboarding.[12][13][14][15][16] The themes of sex, violence, and drugs are all allegories in the album according to Carter and the producers which claim that it is a story about American struggles of singlehood, poverty, violence, disease, and physical pain.[16]

Artwork

edit

In November 2012, Lil Wayne announced that Kanye West would be designing everything from the cover art to the album packaging. According to Wayne, West approached him about doing it because he "wanted to package a Wayne album".[17] On January 30, 2013, the West-designed cover was released, featuring a red moth spread across a black background.[18] On February 1, 2013, Wayne explained the cover saying, "he chose the moth butterfly thing because it has so many different stages of life, and it goes through so many forms and changes, and no one can figure it out, and it's always beautiful".[19] On the day of the album's release DONDA, released an animated version of the album cover.[20] Overall, the artwork was designed and directed by Kanye West and Joe Perez of DONDA. In December 2013, Complex positioned it at number 27 on their list of the best album covers of 2013.[21]

Singles

edit

"Hot Revolver" was released on March 17, 2009, released as the second single from his seventh studio album, Rebirth (2010). The song, produced by American production duo Cool & Dre, features uncredited guest vocals from Dre.[22] The song was originally intended to be included on Rebirth, however for unspecified reasons it was left off the final track listing. An extended version of the song with an extra verse from Wayne later leaked online on March 26, 2009. A re-recorded version of the song was later included as a bonus track on Wayne's tenth studio album I Am Not a Human Being II (2013), featuring no Auto-Tune and a new verse from Wayne.

"My Homies Still" was released on June 5, 2012. The track features guest vocals from a fellow American rapper Big Sean, with the production that was provided by Streetrunner and Sarom.

Following its release to digital retailers in the United States, the song debuted at number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[23]

The lead single from the album, "No Worries", was released on September 3, 2012. The track features guest vocals from a Detail, who also contributed the production to this song. The track was also included on Lil Wayne's mixtape Dedication 4.[24] Cortez Bryant explained that the song has been added to Dedication 4, because the mixtape has been pushed back several times.[25] On November 21, 2012, the music video debuted on MTV.[26] The song peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[27]

On December 30, 2012, "Love Me" featuring Drake and Future premiered. Production was handled by Mike WiLL Made It. It was first leaked online.[28] "Love Me" was released for digital download on January 18, 2013, as the album's lead single.[29] The song sold 1,000,000 copies and was certified platinum by the RIAA (RIAA).[30] The song became a top ten hit, peaking at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lil Wayne's eighteenth top ten single on the chart.[31] Producer Mike WiLL Made It, reveals that this instrumental for the track "Love Me" was intended to be for one of DJ Khaled's newest songs, before Khaled decided to send it to Wayne instead.[32]

On January 6, 2013, this track, called "Rich As Fuck" featuring 2 Chainz, was leaked as an unmastered version and was originally set to be the next single from the album, but instead chose "Love Me" to be released as a second single.[33] "Rich As Fuck" was released as the first promotional single from the album along with the pre-order of the album via the iTunes Store.[34] The official version of the song was remastered and the first and second verse were switched around, compared to the leaked version.[35] The song was sent to urban radio in the US on April 9, 2013, as the third single from the album.[36] The music video directed by Parris, was released on March 22, 2013.[37] The song has since peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.[38]

I Am Not a Human Being II received generally mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 51, based on 23 reviews.[46] Jody Rosen, writing in Rolling Stone, felt that Wayne is "half-interested" and lacks the "exhilarating surprise" of his previous work.[55] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the album shows Wayne "streamlining his eccentricities",[51] while Pitchfork's Jayson Greene panned his lyrics as an "undifferentiated slurry of interchangeable" dick jokes, drug references, and unconvincing puns, "none of them funny or creative".[54] Alex Macpherson of The Guardian found his metaphors "laboured, tired or just remarkably offputting."[50] Evan Rytlewski of The A.V. Club accused Wayne of having "bad taste" and rapping solely about oral sex, "a subject that tends to invite misplaced aggression and puerile humor".[48]

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called the album "less manic, less experimental, less unpredictable and, oddly, less consistent" than "drug-era Lil Wayne".[57] Al Horner of NME said that "the chilling growl and imaginative Auto-Tune of hits like 'Got Money' replaced by tired punchlines and lazy hooks."[53] Spin's Brandon Soderberg felt that the album was a continuation of "Wayne's steady creative decline", adding that "you're better off soaking in the good choices here and resigning yourself to enduring the bad ones."[56] Dean Van Nguyen of PopMatters found the beats "dispensable" and said that they "mirror his own boredom with the project."[58] Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe said that, apart from the "potent" "Gunwalk" and "No Worries", the album is "both numbingly haphazard and inconsequential."[59]

In a positive review, David Jeffries of AllMusic said that the album is an "indulgent jumble of a sideline release, but that doesn't mean Wayne isn't in fine form", and observed "stunning talent, true wit, and a John Holmes level of cocksure" from him.[47] USA Today's Steve Jones found it "solid" and "often entertaining in the crass, lewd and rude way that's uniquely Wayne."[60] MSN Music's Robert Christgau called it "progress" that the songs "deploy the P-word" sexually rather than pejoratively and felt that it suggests that, "unlike most rappers and related pop lifeforms who brag about sex, Weezy really seems to savor it ... A loose-lipped ship-sinker is what he was meant to be."[52]

Commercial performance

I Am Not a Human Being II debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 217,000 copies in the first week.[61][62] This became Wayne's tenth US top-ten debut.[62] In its second week, the album dropped to number five on the chart, selling an additional 68,000 copies.[63][64] In its third week, the album dropped to number eight on the chart, selling 42,000 more copies.[65][66] In its fourth week, the album remained at number eight on the chart, selling 31,000 copies.[67][68] As of July 30, 2013, the album has sold 529,000 copies in the US.[69] On September 25, 2020, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over two million units in the United States.[3]
